A New York Times report incorrectly claimed that Hindustan Aeronautics Limited – a government -owned aerospace and defense company – sold sensitive technology, with potential military use, a blacklist agency has been called by sources for the agency supplying Russia with weapons.
He slammed the “factually wrong and misleading” report and alleged that it was trying to “make frame issues and facts in conformity to a political story”.
Sources said, “The Indian unit mentioned in the report has followed all international obligations on strategic trade control and final-user commitments.”
“India’s strong legal and regulatory structure on strategic trade continues to guide foreign commercial enterprises on strategic trade,” he said, “he said,” he said, “he said,” he said, “iconic media outlets to do basic proper hard work while publishing such reports, which were ignored in this matter”.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, or HAL, has not yet responded.
After the line broke new York Times Published an article – ‘Major Donor to Reform UK party sold the Russian supplier to arms parts’ – on 28 March. The reform UK party is led by Nigel Faraj.
The report stated that the British aerospace manufacturer HR Smith Group through HAL – through HAL – about $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 2 million, which are among the British and Americans, said that the Ukraine cannot be sold to Russia in view of the Ukraine war.
The report claimed that “in some examples the Indian company (ie, HAL) received equipment from HR Smith and within days, sent Russia to parts with the same identified product code”.
In short, NYT – stated that he reviewed the shipping record – HR Smith made 118 shipments of banned technology for HAL in 2023 and 2024. These were values of $ 2 million.
HAL, in that period, allegedly created 13 shipments of the same parts for Rosoborone Export, a Russian weapon agency blacklisted by the United States and the United Kingdom.
These shipments were more than $ 14 million. Rosoboroneexport is reportedly one of Hal’s largest trading partners.
HR Smith’s lawyer Nick Watson told NYT that the sale was valid, that the device was “lucky for an Indian discovery-and-rescue network”, and that part “supports life-saving operation”. They are “not designed for military use”, he said.
However, legal experts consulted by NYT indicated that the British company may have violated restrictions by not using proper hard work to the Indian company.
In December 2023, the British government released a ‘red alert’ to companies, which were redirected about sensitive equipment in Russia.
